Focusing on rushing through a nominee to the United States Supreme Court rather than doing everything we can to work across the aisle to craft a solution. To the problems, the crises facing our nation. Tens of millions of americans, unemployed. Hundreds of thousands of businesses permanentlylo closed. Schools all over the country either not yet open or just barely opened, and thousands upon thousands of americans died alone in pain, and comforted by family, uncertain of how they came to be in this place and cared for by their country. Eight. 5million infected 220,000 or more dead. We are in the middle of a tragic pandemic and a recession made worse by our presence bungled mishandling of the pandemic, and instead of coming together to provide the reliefteng that all states d all people are calling for, we are doing this. We are doing this. Instead, my republican colleagues are walking over dangerous precipice doing something according to graham was unthinkable just two years ago , in th

The we doing a risk limiting audit, and as ive said since tuesday night and wednesday, this is all about process and following the law as written. This is something that maybe 12 people on the planet can explain in a way that everybody can understand it.

Trillion since he was elected four years ago. President trumps stewardship of the i economy and these markets coming despite a never ending assault from the radical left, the deep state, are resistance from the rinos of his own party, a politically corrupt judiciary, not to mention a Global Pandemic unleashed by china on an unsuspecting world. 2020 has been an unforgettable year. And an impromptu press briefing today, the president hailed his administrations efforts and congratulated the American People for their part in this historic achievement on the market.

And the United States senate and perhaps the most acute is the role of policy preferences. It is the job of the senate to pursue her policy preferences. In fact it would be a dereliction of duty for her to put policy goals aside. By contrast it is the job of a judge to resist her policy preferences.
